Book Description
Excerpt from A Pioneer History of Jefferson County, Pennsylvania: And My First Recollections of Brookville, Pennsylvania, 1840-1843, When My Feet Were Bare and My Cheeks Were Brown To write a pioneer history of a single county years and years after all the fathers and mothers have gone to "that country from whose bourn no traveller returns" is a task to appall the most courageous. To say it mildly, it is a task requiring a vast amount of labor and research, untiring perseverance, great patience, and discrimination. In undertaking this task I realized its magnitude, and all through the work I have determined that, if labor, patience, and perseverance would overcome error and false traditions and establish the truth, the object of this book would be fully attained. This book is not written for gain, nor to laud or puff either the dead or the living. It is designed to be a plain, truthful narrative of the pioneer men and events of Jefferson County. I have compiled, wherever I could, from the writings of others. I am indebted to the following historical works, - viz., "Jefferson County Atlas," "Jefferson County History," Day's "Historical Recollections," Egle's "History of Pennsylvania," W. C. Elliott's "History of Reynoldsville," and the county histories of Indiana, Armstrong, Elk, Centre, Lycoming, Venango, Crawford, and Northumberland; also to many individuals. I am greatly indebted to the late Mr. G. B. Goodlander, of Clearfield, for a complete file of the Brookville Republican for the year 1837, to Clarence M. Barrett for a file of the Republican for 1834, and also to the Ladies Home Journal of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In every instance, as far as possible, credit has been given to the writings of those who have preceded me. But, dear reader, "Whoever thinks a faultless work to see, Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nor e'er shall be. In every work regard the writer's end, Since none can compass more than they intend, And if the means be just, the conduct true, Applause, in spite of trivial faults, is due."
